Life - not a dragging bullock but a rivering flux

Life is a source of creation and the every individual has the capability to excel his or her own potential in one day or another day since birth. I do not know why humanity is always after objects, goods, property and prestige ? There must be a reason behind this artificial mentality that is "misery". Each Individual is perfectly fine as an individual, but he becomes ugly when he mingle with the society. There comes a contamination and everyone is vulnerable to all these mental shocks.

Mindset-working men

Mindset of working men response to a change of the same of counterpart irrespective of consequences created in the process of learning. It is very easy to suggest something to make changes in anyone's work, but it is impossible to prove our idea in front of others. Reason is to have a solid evidence is not so easy and to inculcate any idea in anyone's mind is not so easy due to conditioning of others' mentality and their influences. These situations make one to act or react or response in terms of mental and emotional way. Thus, intern created in one's mind a certain mental patterns with full of layered dimensions. Someone calls it as consciousness which taken a shape of dimensions and manifested into a vast plane of understanding.      

Alertness-Awareness-Attentiveness

Words are different, but their meaning is one and the same. If one says be alert and attentive or aware of your mind that means you just observe your whole activities of mind and its working tactics. Ignorant people are afraid of each incident of their life; but when a person act out of his awareness makes him/her alert and attentive.  Meditation makes seeker to be completely detached from the contact of unconscious moves or ignorant paths. Seeker gets an attainment of enlightenment if witnessing continues till the achievement of blissfulness.

Materialistic weath is not a realistic wellbeing

Humans - their crave towards materialistic comfort Generally human tends to have more and more materials and objects so that they look rich. A person looking rich doesn't mean that he/she is rich authentically because outer wealth cannot be a substitute to the inner well-being. It appears to be paradoxical but true. What to say about the reality of life everything looks contradictory and confusing. To say something about life means we have to label it to a small entity and go for comparison. There seems to be no way to express the eternal experiences of life. My life is full of suffering and pain which had created a huge hallow senses. These bodily sensations further added up to my mental burden which already existing from thousands of years. Mental load along with bodily attributed load was created a hell like situation called Stress . It has been multiplied in my psyche for centuries to get out of it is not so easy right now. At present, every individual are facing these pro

Be an Individual - Never become a slave

Be an Individual Individuals are members of source for this society. They exist because of their identity and existence. The very earthly nature of each individual makes him/her proud enough. Spiritual quest along with the earthly nature uplifts one to a highest peak of the consciousness. Aggression and reactive nature in one are two entities which make one's to become inferior. While anguish and anxiety are two entities that makes one to be superior. These two extreme nature of human behavior's are dangerous to lead a life. Life along with these two extremes leads one to the state of death. A dragging and pulling the life have death at each instance.  Uniqueness and individuality are both synonymous, and they are not separate enough. Freedom of expression and free speech are two diversified things which vary from one individual to another. There exists only one entity, but the forms are many. Criticism works when one is inferior and it can never be applied on completel

Life management - It must not be a timepass game

People keep grudge for even small thing which disturbs them from our side. Aligning the grudge in the form of words, they harass us with abuses and maligned words. It eventually leads to bitter argument and further leads to a clash a war of words. This mental harassment makes us so disturbed that we cannot sense our sensibility and the ability to develop inner core of the heart. Healing is needed for this insane, inhuman or humiliating act of violent or dominant persons. Mental grudge  

Courage - Fear

Courage  Individual needs a lot of understanding at life and its implications to develop courage. Facing many problems, gaining knowledge, gathering experience, applying these prejudices in real life problems, and bagging achievements either bad or good -irrespective of the consequences- makes one to learn life. In the process of learning life, one can achieve success and failure though one's life is full of misery and suffering. But the person's identification with the mind gives a hell like incidents and produces unnecessary suffering. Just knowing about our own suffering makes no difference with those who have none of your suffering. It is the mind and its association with the action and reaction of life provides a comprehensive understanding of situation one faces in one's own life. A million dollar question is how to build-up these strengths to face hurdles and dangers of life such as failures. And the secret is keeping ourselves ready to allow the situations

Stress management vs. stress release

Many people in this world somehow manages their stress, but managing it never makes you to release it. At the begin, we must understand what stress means and how it is created in a course of working (or life) time. Stress is created by the resistance to work either by external influences. For example, someone is putting a lot of pressure on your mind or on your body either on your emotional psyche (or heart) you get embarrassed immediately. Person with no sensitivity can never understand how much damage being caused through suffering. Out of this non-sensitivity one goes on putting the one load after another, thus create a hell like situation that which we cannot get out of it. If we are alert enough we can clear all these hindrances from our whole-mind ( chitta ) and can breath consciously. The cause for the creation of stress in our mind is our conditioning and the associated control or deadline or time bound. Once we agreed and allowed the stress to ride our life, many dangers

Anger - how to overcome this mental torture

Anger Being angry is projecting one's own energy on somebody outside and insisting them to carry such a big flame. Anger exists when frustration and despair are hanging in the mind. Irrespective of the concerns and morals, one must understand one's problem of making violence such as being angry at others. One has to be aware-off each and every moment whether anger exist or not if it exists how much we be aware-off.  I h ad gon e through many cases of perso n al relationship and  its di ff iculties in dealing with one an other. I realized that m an y of us never think at-leas t one m inute be for e we talk to another. I used to see th at th ere exists one problem in dealing with a mind and with a heart separately. Most of the people talk emo tionally , but they actually use their cunnin g nature in makin g a mind-to-mind d ialogue.

Time management -utility and usage

Time management We always think that we should manage the time systematically and to follow punctually. But in the reality we need not follow any custom or discipline. Every individual wants freedom and comfort both in equal proportion or amount. Once we get entangled in doing exhaustive works and get frustrated and to get afraid off results, we loose confidence and lost in vain. Anyhow every individual manages to do his/her job and get benefit.   

Misery - a simple reason to avoid many favours

No one can help any miserable people Miserable people are never help any individual in their life. The very misery makes them not helping others. The ego resides inside these people is so much so big that not a single contact they make to loose their ego. But one this is for sure that no one can live ones life eternally. It is the mind which plays a major role in changing the situations.  Once mind stops acting hence no misery neither an ego. Society avoids miserable people because  they are worthless to talk they never help anyone. Once society come to know the value of a human it starts blame after any single mischief. Mischief's from others are common in ones life and we must avoid them too. Once you are free from all the bondage of society, relations, friends, and family your entire life changes from a hell to heaven.
